In Trigun: On the forbidding desert planet of Gunsmoke, a sixty billion double-dollar bounty hangs over the head of Vash the Stampede, a pistol-packing pacifist with a weapon capable of punching holes in a planet.

And when Vash fights, destruction is sure to follow!

In Trigun Maximum: Vash the Stampede, the galaxy’s deadliest gunslinger, emerges from two years in hiding to help his beleaguered desert homeworld, Gunsmoke. But the Stampede’s many enemies have kept their motors running, and they’re back on his trail and determined to bring Vash to ground–hard! And a new crowd of bounty hunters, badasses, and braincases are also looking to cash in the price on his head.
